Have you witnessed homeless veterans demonstrating exceptional character? Share your story in the comments.
James "Doc" Martinez, fifty-eight years old, Vietnam veteran with twenty-two years Army service, had lived homeless under Detroit bridge for eight years. PTSD that inadequate treatment and job losses and family estrangement created homelessness despite VA disability thirteen hundred monthly that theoretically was sufficient for housing but that practical barriers made insufficient when landlords rejected applicants without employment references and security deposits that disability checks never accumulated.
Tuesday evening November, Doc returning to encampment from convenience store, heard woman screaming in parking lot. Two men attacking Lisa trying to steal purse and shoving her against car. Doc confronted attackers using military training despite being outnumbered and fifty-eight years old and malnourished from years on streets. Fought both attackers, got stabbed twice—arm wound requiring eighteen stitches and ribs wound that was nearly fatal. Doc disabled first attacker and tackled second, maintained control until police arrived.
Lisa tried thanking Doc who refused reward: "Can't afford hospital, ma'am." Lisa insisted paying for treatment, explained her husband would want ensuring Doc received proper care. Lisa called husband Reaper—Detroit Hell's Angels chapter president. Reaper arrived hospital within twenty minutes.
Reaper during three-day hospital stay learned Doc's full story: twenty-two years service, PTSD inadequately treated, eight years homeless, family estrangement, VA systems insufficient for preventing homelessness despite promises. Reaper brought story to chapter meeting.
Chapter president proposed comprehensive intervention: "Doc saved Lisa when he had nothing. We're raising three hundred fifty thousand dollars—one hundred twenty thousand for fully furnished two-bedroom house, thirty-five thousand for 2019 Ford F-150 truck, twenty-five thousand covering ten years property taxes, employment at Frank's motorcycle shop earning seventeen hourly plus benefits."
Five hundred Hell's Angels from twelve states raised funds in five weeks. House keys ceremony: Reaper presented Doc with house, truck, prepaid taxes, and employment. "You saved my wife when you had nothing. We're making sure you never have nothing again."
Doc, crying in his new living room, saluted: "I just did my duty, brother. Twenty-two years Army taught me protecting people was soldier's purpose. Thank you doesn't cover what you did. You gave me life back."
